Chapter 226 Snowstorm is coming and business opportunities! (5600)

As soon as everyone walked out of the forest, they saw snowflakes all over the sky.

The amount of snowfall is no less than the last "moderate snow".

But Cao Xing knew that this was just the beginning.

The snowfall will continue to get heavier.

So Cao Xing quickly ordered, "Let's go, let's hurry back."

After saying that, he controlled Dabai to move forward at a high speed.

"Moo-"

The mammoth began to run wildly.

Like a high-speed train, it smashes everything along the way!
Wally next to him was also running at an amazing speed.

Every time its thick bear claws landed on the snow, they would make a big hole and leave a huge bear paw print.

Even the best hunters dare not track such a powerful beast.

Soon, the group was heading away from the Witch Forest in the wind and snow.

Cao Xing discovered that as time passed, the scale of snowfall continued to increase.

And it was accompanied by an erratic cold wind.

"Hu-hu-"

A strong cold wind blew.

Sitting on Dabai's back, Cao Xing not only felt his body heat being lost at a rapid rate, but he even felt like he was about to be blown away!
He quickly grabbed the hair on Dabai's back.

In the team, a few new archers following behind were struggling to resist the wind and snow while moving forward with difficulty.

Seeing this, Cao Xing frowned and ordered: "Everyone, slow down. Bron, go to the left side of the team and try to help our team members block the strong wind."

"Assam, go to the right side of the team."

After hearing this, Braun patted his chest and said, "Okay, Lord, let the strong Braun protect you!"

Everyone started to take action.

"Hu-hu-"

The strong cold wind continued to howl.

Cao Xing glanced at the two little girls on Wally's back and reminded them, "Elissa, Xiao Chuchu, you lie on Wally's back and remember to hold on to his fur firmly."

After hearing this, the two girls did as they were told without hesitation.

They lay on Wally's broad back like two little wombats.

Cao Xing also quickly dialed Ilena's communication channel.

"Zizi...Zizi..."

There was a sound of electricity, and the signal was interfered due to the snowstorm.

However, we can still communicate.

Cao Xing said quickly: "Yilena, notify all the people who are working outside to return to the territory as soon as possible."

"Everyone else, do your job to withstand the blizzard."

Hearing the vague voice coming from the headset, Ilena quickly replied: "Yes, Lord."

"Please be careful outside too."

After saying that, Ilena notified everyone immediately.

Everything is in place.

Next, Cao Xing began to resist the snowstorm with all his strength while concentrating on his journey.

According to the system's countdown, there were still 2 hours left before dark.

But because of the weather, even the night seemed to come earlier.

The sky was getting darker, visibility was getting lower, and the wind and snow were getting stronger!

Fist-sized snowflakes fell from the sky as if they were free.

Haven't gone very far.

A thick layer of snow had accumulated on everyone's heads.

Cao Xing brushed off the snow on Dabai's body.

However, snowflakes are not the scariest thing.

The most terrifying thing is the increasingly strong wind and the increasingly low temperature.

"Hu-hu-"

As time went by, Cao Xing only felt a pair of invisible big hands constantly patting his body.

Cao Xing didn’t know what level the wind was at right now, but it must have reached an extremely terrifying level!

He had already seen that among the snowflakes in the sky were various kinds of gravel and broken branches.

Even a loud 'boom' sound was heard.

That was the sound of several snow-capped mountains collapsing in the distance.

Liu Muxue looked at the scene in front of her and whispered in Cao Xing's ear: "Oh my God... the weather in this world is too bad..."

Cao Xing also nodded and grabbed Dabai's hair tightly to prevent himself from being blown away.

At this time, the system prompt appears.

[Because the blizzard has affected a large area, the power of the Ice Nest has been disturbed. While the blizzard continues, the Ice Nest will not continue to descend...]

See the system prompt.

At this moment, cheers were heard in the chat channel.

Cheng Qingsong: "Great! Fortunately, the ice nest was disturbed. Otherwise, with such a big snowstorm, we would have to resist the weather and fight against the ice nest monsters. There would be no way to survive!"

Ling Tingzhang: "You're right. Fortunately, the system didn't treat us too harshly, otherwise our whole family would be finished tonight!"

Bi Xishan: "Fuck! This blizzard is too outrageous! It blew my sentry tower down and almost killed me!"

Wei Sui: "The vegetable greenhouse I built with great difficulty was blown away. My seeds!!!"

Qiao Jialong: "It's really outrageous. I feel that this time, all the territories that haven't built city walls will definitely suffer serious damage."

Zhu Xin: "Yes, even if we can survive this time, the various buildings we have worked so hard to build will be destroyed, and the progress will be slowed down a lot."

"Brothers, after this snowstorm, I will do my best to build the wall!"

...

Liu Muxue also saw the discussion in the chat channel and couldn't help but admire Cao Xing's foresight again.

You know, not only did they build the city walls early on, they also upgraded them all to the intermediate level!

A city wall of this level can definitely withstand severe weather such as blizzards.

Thinking of this, Liu Muxue sat behind Cao Xing and hugged his waist tightly.

Half an hour later...

The group braved the wind and snow and finally returned to the territory.

now.

Four or five [lighthouses] stand tall in the wind and snow to provide guidance for the people who go out.

Looking at the light before their eyes, everyone had happy smiles on their faces.

This feeling is indescribable, it's like finally returning home after running around outside all day.

For everyone, this territory is their safe haven.

Bron danced excitedly, but because the wind was too strong, Cao Xing couldn't hear what he said.

Soon, they arrived at the foot of the city wall.

The city gates were opened wide and people filed in.

Returned to the territory smoothly.

The moment they returned to the territory, everyone felt that the howling cold wind suddenly subsided a lot.

Snowflakes fell into the territory and were quickly melted by the heat emitted by the [Level 15 Furnace].

It seems like a world independent of the snow and wind.

Braun laughed and said, "Haha, our territory is still as magical as ever. This way we don't have to worry about the threat of the blizzard!"

Everyone nodded.

However, there is no one outside the territory now.

Because they had all hidden inside the building as instructed by Cao Xing.

And Cao Xing quickly gave the order: “Elisa, take these new members and arrange a place for them to rest.”

"Chu Chu, go find your mother quickly, and then hide in your room and don't come out."

"Everyone else, go back to your rooms."

Upon hearing the order, everyone followed it and then quickly dispersed.

Cao Xing also brought Liu Muxue and went straight to the door of the lord's cottage.

"call--"

As soon as the door of the cabin was opened, the heat from inside rushed in.

The two of them went in immediately.

Then, Cao Xing suddenly pulled the door of the lord's hut and closed it with a bang.

In an instant, the windy and snowy day outside was blocked out.

Cao Xing breathed a sigh of relief.

"Huh...good guy, you're finally back!"

Liu Muxue beside him also whispered: "Yes, this weather is too scary..."

I was just traveling in a snowstorm. The feeling of looking around and not being able to see the road ahead was almost despairing.

Coupled with the terrifying wind speed, if you are blown away, the consequences will be disastrous, making people feel how insignificant they are in front of nature.

Even though Cao Xing was already a fourth-level warrior, he had no confidence that he could survive in such a blizzard.

Now, the moment I returned to the room, I felt a strong sense of security in my heart.

The two looked at each other and then laughed.

Cao Xing saw that Liu Muxue's head was covered with thick snow, looking like a hat.

His own shoulders and head were also covered with snow.

Liu Muxue first brushed off the snow on her head, then stood on tiptoes and brushed off the snow on Cao Xing's body.

At this moment, the temperature in the room is only 8℃.

There was no way. The cold wind outside was howling, taking away a lot of heat. The temperature was really too low.

Even though Cao Xing's lord's hut was equipped with a stove and heating pipes, the temperature could only be maintained at a comfortable level.

But it’s okay, after all, the temperature here is positive.

The other survivors were sad, and they would probably have to experience again the horrible coldness they felt when they first came into this world.

Liu Muxue looked at Cao Xing's red hands and cheeks, and said softly, "Ah Xing, I'll go get some hot water. Can you come over and take a hot bath later?"

Cao Xing nodded, "Okay, thank you for your help."

Liu Muxue smiled gently, then turned and went into the bathroom.

"Crash..."

The sound of water continued to be heard.

After a while, the beauty poked her head out and said, "Axing... the water is ready..."

"You can come here."

"it is good."

Cao Xing said and walked over.

The bathroom was steaming hot, with a large wooden barrel in the middle.

Da Zhuang was a thoughtful guy and even made a wooden barrel for them to bathe.

At this moment, the large wooden barrel was half filled with hot water, and a few pink petals were floating on the water.

Cao Xing smiled and said, "Muxue, where did you get these petals?" Liu Muxue lowered her head slightly and said embarrassedly, "I saw them in the forest today. I thought these wild flowers were pretty, so I picked a few."

"Axing... let me help you take a bath..."

Her voice was soft and her cheeks were slightly red.

Cao Xing nodded, then opened his arms and allowed Liu Muxue to take off his armor.

Then, he entered the water first and instantly felt the warm water temperature dispel the coldness from his body.

"call……"

Cao Xing breathed a sigh of relief, then said with a smile: "You know what, it's really comfortable to take a hot bath on a snowstorm like this."

Hearing this, a smile appeared on Liu Muxue's face next to her.

Then, she gently took off the [Ice Dragon Armor] on her body, revealing her fair skin.

And that perfect body proportion.

"Crash..."

Liu Muxue also entered the bathtub. She walked behind Cao Xing, wrapped her arms around him, and pressed tightly against him.

At this moment, Cao Xing only felt the warmth of the hot water and the softness on his back.

"Axing...is the water temperature okay?"

"Oh, that's alright."

"That's good……"

Then, Liu Muxue gently rubbed Cao Xing's back, her soft little hands caressing his chest.

The movements seem a little unfamiliar.

Liu Muxue had no experience in scrubbing other people's backs, but she was trying her best to make Cao Xing feel comfortable.

After a while.

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, when Liu Muxue was scrubbing Cao Xing's back, her little hands gradually moved to his legs.

Liu Muxue seemed to have touched something, her fair shoulders trembled slightly, and there was a hint of shame between her brows.

Then, Cao Xing turned around and looked at Liu Muxue.

He noticed that the beauty in front of him had half of her hair wet, and she lowered her head, embarrassed to look at Cao Xing.

Like a lotus flower emerging from the water, it makes people unable to help but look at it and admire it.

Cao Xing can not only appreciate it, but also pick it...

"Mu Xue, let's go upstairs and rest."

Liu Muxue's cheeks turned slightly red, and she also knew what was going to happen next.

I feel shy but also expectant.

He replied softly: "Well... I'll do as you say..."

...

In a warm little house.

The sound of a woman's rapid breathing continued to be heard.

"Axing...Axing..."

"Um……"

At this moment, it is windy and snowy outside.

The room was filled with the sweetness of lovemaking.

After a brief calm, the beauty suddenly closed her eyes.

Then, like a swan, it raised its head.

After a long and ethereal charming sound, Liu Muxue collapsed directly into Cao Xing's arms.

She said in a soft and weak voice like a whisper: "Axing... you seem to be getting stronger and stronger..."

There was unconcealable affection in his tone.

Cao Xing stroked her hair gently, and then said, "Mu Xue, you must be tired. Take a good rest."

The beauty's face was rosy at this time, and she was very obedient to Cao Xing.

"Um……"

After saying that, she fell asleep peacefully in his arms.

Cao Xing was staring at the howling wind and snow outside the window and did not go to bed immediately.

Instead, I am thinking about the next plan.

...

into the night...

Just as the weather forecast said, the night temperature reached -79℃!
This was the cruelest day that all the survivors had experienced since entering this world, no less cruel than the first day they came into this world.

Even though most people have built houses and improved their physical fitness.

But this low temperature is still unbearable.

The chat channel was filled with wailing.

Zhou Yifeng: "It's cold! It's so damn cold! The wind is so strong that the stove in the room seems to have no effect!"

Shen Ying: "Yeah, I even burned wood in the room, but it was still too cold."

Shen Shigan: "Brothers, let me teach you a way. Gather all the people in the territory together and keep them in one room to keep warm. This will increase the temperature a lot. We don't need to care about so many things at this time. Saving our lives is the most important thing!"

Yue Yi: "Can someone give me a few quilts or cotton coats? I'll pay 600 Ice Dragon Marks for a cotton coat and 1000 Ice Dragon Marks for a quilt. I'm freezing to death!"

"And me, I want to buy a few quilts too!"

"Those of you upstairs, forget it. Who would sell this kind of warm clothing? Besides, it's snowing heavily now. It's difficult to even leave the lord's hut and go to the market to consign things!"

I have to say, what this person said makes a lot of sense.

The prices of warm clothing remain high even during normal times.

It is normal for a cotton coat to sell for 50 Ice Dragon Marks, and a quilt to sell for 100 Ice Dragon Marks.

It may not seem like much, but you have to know that 100g of purple beast meat can only be sold for about 100 Ice Dragon Marks.

These cotton clothes and quilts are just ordinary items of white quality. It is outrageous that they can be sold at this price!

And in such windy and snowy days, the prices of these warm clothes have been driven up by more than 10 times.

This makes many survivors want to take advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune.

However, they did not even have enough warm clothes for themselves, so how could they have any extra to consign?

Seeing the chat channel, Cao Xing seemed to be thinking about something.

He glanced at his backpack.

I have quite a large stockpile of various cotton clothes and furs.

The last time we went to that village, we looted more than 300 sets of cotton clothes. When we killed the hunters, we could occasionally take the clothes off them.

Plus the batch of rabbit fur processed by Xia Yanni.

There are a total of 672 sets of cotton clothes.

Moreover, he has 7 sets of cloud yak clothes that can store heat, which are comparable to artifacts in this world environment.

Obviously, this is an extremely astonishing fortune!

Cao Xing pondered for a moment, "Because of the blizzard, this kind of warm clothing has been sold at a very high price, which is completely higher than the price of purple quality beast meat."

"I definitely can't sell the cloud yak clothes I have, but... I can sell about 500 sets of those ordinary cotton-padded clothes, and I'll keep the rest for myself."

"500 sets. Even if we sell them at the price of 600 Ice Dragon Marks per set, I think there will be a lot of people buying them."

"That is to say, if I can sell all these cotton clothes, I can earn at least 30 Ice Dragon Marks!"

Cao Xing was startled for a moment and was shocked by the number he calculated!
"Oh my god, this is really scary. You can even exchange it for 3 gold treasure chests!"

Although these 500 sets of cotton clothes sound like a lot.

But compared to a golden treasure chest, it's nothing.

After all, these are just some basic supplies. If converted into crowns, they would cost at most a few dozen crowns each.

However, most of the survivors do not have the opportunities and strength that Cao Xing has.

So this gave him the opportunity to make a fortune!

"Okay, okay, I have to take this opportunity to sell the cotton coat in my hand!"

Thinking of this, Cao Xing looked at the sleeping Liu Muxue and gently withdrew his arm.

Then he put his clothes back on.

At this moment, Cao Xing pushed open the door of the lord's hut.

In an instant, a terrifying cold wind blew, mixed with falling snow all over the sky.

"call--"

Cao Xing noticed that even in his own territory, there was a thick layer of snow.

All I saw was pale.

There is no way. Although the heat emitted by the [Level 15 Furnace] is strong, the amount of snowfall in the blizzard is beyond imagination.

As those people said in the chat channel.

In this kind of weather, it's difficult to walk from the [Lord's Cottage] to the [Market].

Cao Xing shook his head.

"But, for the sake of making money, it's nothing."

So he wrapped his cloud-colored yak coat tightly and quickly walked to the side of the market.

When you open the interface, a large amount of transaction information appears.

Cao Xing directly clicked on the [Consignment] function.

After setting the price and consignment quantity, I clicked confirm.

The next moment, there was a consignment information on the market.

[Consignment items: linen cotton clothes]

[Inventory Reserve: 500]

[Required items: A set of 600 Ice Dragon Marks, or if you have special items, you can chat with me privately]

【Consignor: Cao Xing】

[Seller's note: The survivors in Area 174 can be traded first, and those from Wangjiang Pavilion are not allowed to trade.]

...

Since most of the survivors were now huddled in the lord's hut to avoid the howling wind and snow outside, almost no one was paying attention to the market.

So Cao Xing mentioned in the chat channel, "Everyone, I have put a batch of cotton clothes on the shelves. If you need them, you can go to the market to have a look."

The lively chat channel late at night fell into a moment of silence.

Speaking of which, this was the first time Cao Xing spoke in the chat channel after the server merger.

The survivors immediately exclaimed: "Fuck! Boss Cao Xing! Boss Cao Xing is alive!"

"Haha, I finally see Boss Cao Xing speak. Your strength is unfathomable, and you never speak in the chat channel. We thought you were a native of this world."

"Yes, yes. Now it seems that Boss Cao Xing is also a survivor of Blue Star like us."

"Brothers, have you seen it? The boss said that a batch of cotton clothes have been put on the shelves. If you need them, hurry up and grab them!"

After hearing this person's reminder, the other survivors realized something.

Late at night, a large group of people rushed out of the lord's cabin in the violent snowstorm.

Then I clicked directly into the market.

"Oh my god, there are actually 500 sets of cotton clothes. You are worthy of being called Boss Cao Xing. You can even take out so many supplies at once."

"Yeah, it's just that the price is a bit expensive, it's more than ten times the usual price."
